Women’s Golf in 10th After Round One at Wartburg Invite

WAVERLY, Iowa – The Gustavus women’s golf team sits in 10th place out of 17 teams after Saturday’s round of the Wartburg Fall Invitational. The Gusties carded a plus-27 315 and are 18 strokes behind the leader St. Catherine. Carleton is in second at 304, while St. Thomas and Illinois Wesleyan are tied for third at 305.

“The women really came out to play focused golf today,” Assistant Coach Randy Stuckey said. “It was a big improvement from last week when we let what was going inside our minds get to the outside affecting our shots. Watching them on the course today, their body language did not give us any indication of how they were playing. Our ball striking off the tee, approach shots, and short shots around the green were good but our putting was not good enough to really score well. Shooting around 315 is exciting and there are a good number in front of us very close that we hope to pass tomorrow.”
